You could always go to some kind of anime expo. I've personally never been to one, but they are bound to be filled with anime fans. The pics seem to show that they are pretty fun. I have several friends who go regularly. One makes her own costumes and she always cosplays. Others have made friends there, mostly my raver friends, haha.

How did you find it? I always wanted to go to something like that but don't really know where to look.

I searched on http://www.meetup.com/. You can search for local meet-up groups in your area. I was going to start a NEPA anime group with weekend meet-ups, and then saw it is like $12-$15 a month for the organizer has to pay. I am not so generous. lol

So, I found a few in Manhattan that meet up at least once a month. They have their monthly meetings, and some other meets during the month, like Maid Cafes, and anime viewings.

I did a Japanese Culture group, a manga group, and an anime group. I will check them all out. Would be nice to meet some people locally that have the same interests. Everyone I know is just obsessed about baseball and other stuff I find boring.
